为探究不同情景下土地利用变化对生态系统服务的影响,以长江中游城市群为例,基于斑块生成土地利用变化模拟(patch-generating land use simulation,PLUS)模型模拟了2030年4种情景下的土地利用格局;同时采用生态系统服务与权衡综合评估(i...为探究不同情景下土地利用变化对生态系统服务的影响,以长江中游城市群为例,基于斑块生成土地利用变化模拟(patch-generating land use simulation,PLUS)模型模拟了2030年4种情景下的土地利用格局;同时采用生态系统服务与权衡综合评估(integrated valuation of ecosystem services and tradeoffs,InVEST)模型,评估了该区域现状及未来碳储存、生境质量、产水量与土壤保持4项关键服务的时空变化。结果表明,生态系统服务呈现明显空间异质性,不同生态系统服务功能空间分布随着时间变化基本不变;多情景对比显示,仅生态保护情景可实现碳储存与生境质量的提升,其余情景中产水量虽普遍增加,却伴随碳储存与生境质量下降,而土壤保持在各情景中波动较小;土地利用变化是影响生态系统服务的关键因素,在不同情景模拟下生态系统服务呈现不同变化。研究表明,科学的土地配置是统筹城市发展与生态保护的重要途径。展开更多
